epoxy powder coatings containing zinc aluminum phosphate (zap) and zinc phosphate (zp), which are the 2nd and 1st generation of phosphate-based pigments respectively, were applied to the surface of mild steel sheets. the anticorrosive performances of the coated samples were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). cathodic disbonding resistance and the adhesion performance of...

The simple, low molecular weight, azodye acid yellow 9 (AY9) is electrochemically treated in a suitable electrolytic cell using NaCl as a supporting electrolyte, carbon fleece as cathode and platinated titanium as anode. Samples from certain time periods of treatment are analysed. HPLC-UV chromatograms demonstrate the degradation of the initial azodye, while diode array detector (DAD) spectra g...

The coexistence of different pollutants in groundwater is a common threat. Sustainable and resilient technologies are required for their treatment. present study aims to evaluate microbial electrochemical (METs) treating contaminated with nitrate (NO3?) while containing arsenic (in form arsenite (As(III)) as co-contaminant. treatment was based on the combination reduction dinitrogen gas oxidati...

This study highlights the effects of the electrochemical surface pre-treatment of polished polycrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes in ethanol on electron transfer to organic redox systems. A novel ‘‘activation’’ procedure based on cathodic polarisation in ethanol (0.01 M NBu4PF6) is proposed and shown to be highly effective in promoting electron transfer to the aqueous FeðCNÞ =4 6 redox ...

subsea structures such as manifolds, line pipes and flow lines are important investments. also because of the sensitivity of environmental issues, corrosion of these structures is of vital importance. subsea corrosion management is different from on-shore and shallow water off-shore corrosion management in mainly three factors: materials, corrosion management practice and cathodic protection. t...

nickel can also be determined using a copper anode. Conditions are similar to those for nickel except that the applied potentials must be 200 mV more positive than for nickel. The anodic reaction rate constants with copper are typically somewhat greater than with nickel, however the applied potential results in increased background noise so that copper offers no signal-to-noise advantage over n...

Cathodic Protection is the " Electrical " method of controlling and stopping the rust process of underground/submerged steel pipelines and structures.
